Paul Heaton
Barstool
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Whilst other couples look for love
In a love so obviously dead
Ours still takes us by surprise
Like a barstool over the head

Whilst she cowers away in a cupboard
And he cowers in the shed
Our love takes us from behind
Like a barstool over the head

[Chorus 1]
We could swap this helter-skelter ride
Take tranquility instead
But excitement and uncertainty
Are the girl you actually wed

[Verse 2]
For so many, love is a minefield
Spent fearing where you tread
But ours just flies across the room
Like a barstool aimed at head

We never value personal injury
More hurtful words that were said
And it left us happily waiting
For next barstool over the head

[Chorus 2]
And if you're down on your luck, just duck
Chances are it'll probably miss
And if it ever hits and your head splits
It's a hell of a good night kiss (Hell of a good night kiss)
(Hell of a good night kiss)
(Hell of a good night kiss)

[Verse 3]
And the day you feel like ordinary loving
When we've grown too old for the stools
We can bring our bruised bodies together
And start loving like ordinary fools

[Verse 3]
And the day you feel like ordinary loving
When we've grown too old for the stools
We can bring our bruised bodies together
And start loving like ordinary fools

[Refrain]
Loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools (Loving like ordinary fools)
Loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools (Loving like ordinary fools)

Loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools (Loving like ordinary fools)
Loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools

[Verse 3]
And the day you feel like ordinary loving
When we've grown too old for the stools
We can bring our bruised bodies together
And start loving like ordinary fools

[Outro]
We're loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools (Loving like ordinary fools)
We're loving like ordinary
Ordinary fools (Loving like ordinary fools)
